Both have led to Persuasion becoming so well known as a flop on TikTok that simply tagging the title over a meme audio is enough to convey your meaning. Some creators took a serious critical tone when talking about the film while others mostly ranted. It explains the too cute winks to the camera and lines of dialogue like, “If you’re a 5 in London, you’re a 10 in Bath.” Unfortunately for Netflix, #AustenTok has emphatically criticized the film for talking down to its audience and aping Fleabag’s signature fourth-wall breaks. TikTok has its own thriving Jane Austen subculture-the precise audience the creators of this film were likely attempting to appeal to. It’s that this film seemingly treats Austen fans with disdain while attempting to pander to them. It’s not the color-blind casting, abridged plot, or anachronisms that upset people. Why was this one so uniquely enraging to so many? I’ll tell you why. But Jane Austen adaptations take liberties all the time. It stars Dakota Johnson as a wine-guzzling, pining, winking Anne Elliott and was much-derided on the internet from the moment the first trailer dropped. I’m among those still upset about the new Persuasion adaptation on Netflix.
